July 23, 2011 3:42 am Personally really looking forward to this. Looks like it will keep the overall high production values.

@TheNextChampion Remember too though that the first season's pre-launch trailer contained footage almost entirely from the first two episodes. Hold out hope that this is a similar deal.
June 8, 2011 9:36 pm From what I understand, the budget cut is related to the higher episode count. They have slightly less money per episode but a higher overall dollar amount to work with. Traditionally when this happens shows tend to reuse set pieces, hire less expensive writers or actors, or film in cheaper locations. We know they are still in Alanta, we know that the writing staff kind of got nixed, we know that the cast is returning. Only two ways they cuts cash are the sets and cheaper writers. I personally don't mind set reuse so long as it doesn't effect pacing and the sets look okay in the first place. Let us all hope the new writing crew doesn't suck.
January 8, 2011 10:59 pm The real question in all of this, is whether or not anyone really thinks Watchmen needs to be picked up again, especially by someone other than the original author.

I firmly believe the answer is no. Watchmen was a story with a beginning and an end. It was not meant to be the chronicle of a constantly reimagined and retouched world as most on-going books are (On-going in the sense of leagacy characters). As a reader, it depresses me that publishers don't really listen to creators. As a consumer, I want good work to be recognized for being good, so that it continues to be produced. Unfortunately, publishers like Marvel and DC don't seem to see it the same way, as they chase off great talent with situations like this.

If DC manages to get these Watchmen stories off the ground, I won't touch them and I likely won't touch any of the other work of whoever does.


Afterthought: Would it anger you if someone, not the author, amended your favorite classic novel?
